  1. 1 From reported initial salt concentrations in mg/L (Table 2), assuming a solution density ~1.05 kg/L. The number of significant digits is provided only for accurate numerical charge balance and does not reflect the accuracy of the data.
  2. 2 Calculated by chemical speciation given input total (stoichiometric) H+ concentration
